The most wonderful time of year!
Christmas carols in the air, possibly snow on the ground, about a million colorful lights on at dusk, amusement rides, reindeer, Santa — a visit will put you in the holiday spirit.
A visit to Santa’s Village is an outdoor experience that takes place in variable weather conditions, regardless of temperatures. Please plan for variable weather, and dress to spend the day outdoors.
Most of our rides are scheduled to be open. Santa & the reindeer are here to visit and take photos. Two shows are scheduled to play: one outdoors on Main Street beginning at dusk, the other at various hours inside the Polar Theater. Most of our dining & gift shops are open. The Elfabet Game is even more challenging in the dark.
